Kaka goes missing prior to Brazil friendly

Real Madrid star goes M.I.A. in Estonia

Brazil are all set to face European powerhouse Estonia in a friendly this afternoon, as part of a celebration of a centenary of Estonian football (a centenary in which they have qualified for the square root of nothing). However, concerns spread throughout the capital city of Tallinn yesterday, as Kaka went missing.

The Real Madrid star took a walk through Tallinn’s historic Old Town (a World Heritage Site that dates back to medieval times), but it seems he got a little bit lost and had no idea how to return to the team’s hotel.

Eventually, a police patrol tracked him down and safely returned him to the Radisson hotel. He was easily identifiable, as he was wearing his Brazil training tracksuit.

In how many other countries in the world could someone like Kaka roam the streets anonymously wearing his full training kit?
